I have written several books on the lives of my ancestors. How do I keep my life story up-to-date? I do it through my journal. For many years, I used a plain spiral notebook for making entries. I eventually migrated to a word processor on my computer, but now I have something even better, the CUMBERLAND DIARY. Some people say to write in a diary every day. You may find that that method suits you well. I only write PgDn-More Esc-Quit FSUGG UPDATING YOUR STORY Page 2 = occasionally, but I have been consistent for almost 20 years. Sometimes I write about once a week, sometimes it may be a few months. This method may also suit you. The CUMBERLAND DIARY program can handle either method. With it, you can write as often or as little as you want. You could print your Diary or Journal seperately from your life story or you may import text from the CUMBERLAND DIARY to the CUMBERLAND STORY and add diary entries as topics.

After creating a new book, use the F2-File/Define Contents option to begin outlining your life with chapters. Select chapters which you would like to write about from the list of pre-defined chapters. If there have been major events in your life (such as a move) which do not flow with the pre-defined chapters, create your own with the User- Defined Chapters function. (After you have defined the chapters, the define topics PgDn-More Esc-Quit WRITING3 WRITING YOUR LIFE STORY Page 2 = within each chapter. Again, use the pre-defined topics if possible to help you recall events in your life. Add user- defined topics as necessary. &Then begin entering text into each topic. You do not need to begin at the beginning, although you may start that way. You can skip around from topic to topic as the mood strikes you. If you have a thought that needs to go in another topic, simply switch to that topic and enter the story. As you are writing, if you find that you need an PgUp/PgDn-More Esc-Quit FWRITING4 WRITING YOUR LIFE STORY Page 3 = additional topic or chapter, add them. If you entered text under the wrong topic, use the cut-and-paste features to move the text. When you are near completion and discover that you don't need certain topics, then delete them in the F2-File/Define Contents option. #How long should a topic or chapter be? It doesn't matter. You need to define at least one topic within each chapter, but beyond that there are no rules. Do what you like. You may have a chapter that is one topic long and PgUp/PgDn-More Esc-Quit FWRITING5 WRITING YOUR LIFE STORY Page 4 = another which is 20 topics long. You may have one topic that is one paragraph long and another which is 20 para- graphs long. You be the judge. You may write a book just 5 or 10 pages long, or you might write a huge 500 page edition. Once you get interested in this hobby of writing, you might want to write one book for each of your ancestors! What a treasure such a set of books will be to your children and grand children! !If you really want to help your writing, you might PgUp/PgDn-More Esc-Quit FSUGG WRITING YOUR LIFE STORY Page 5 = want to take an adult education course or get the book "Harbrace College Handbook", published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich Publishers, New York. This little handbook talks all about sentence, paragraph and composition structure, grammar and spelling. But remember what I said earlier - if worrying about your writing causes you to procrastinate or not write, then don't worry about your writing, JUST WRITE! Write like you talk. Pretend you are telling a friend the story of your life and start today! PgUp-More PgDn-Menu Esc-Quit ADDCHAP ADDCHAP2 ADDTOP ADDTOP2 ADDTOP3 ANCEST2 ?
